Members of the ''[[Darter|Anhinga]]'' genus live in warm, shallow waters and swamplands worldwide.<ref name=Nellis/> The American anhinga has been subdivided into two subspecies, ''A. a. anhinga'' and ''A. a. leucogaster'', based on their respective location. ''A. a. anhinga'' can be found mainly east of the [[Andes]] in [[South America]], east to the islands of [[Trinidad and Tobago]]. ''A. a. leucogaster'' can be found in the [[southern United States]], [[Mexico]], [[Cuba]], and the [[Caribbean]] island of  [[Grenada]].<ref name=Blake/> A fossil species, ''[[Anhinga walterbolesi]],'' has been described from the [[Chattian|Late Oligocene]] to [[Early Miocene]] of [[Australia]].
